Anniversary

by angie.

On April 28th (last Thursday) we celebrated 4 years of marriage. It was a really low-key “celebration”, since we aren’t settled into our new apartment and Klane has been working till midnight or later most evenings. In fact, things have been so hectic that we both kind of forgot about our anniversary until the day was already here! It was okay though, we counted the new apartment as our gift to each other and called it good.

Klane was sweet and brought me flowers at work, something that was totally unexpected and fun to receive. They smelled fantastic and brightened my day.

After work we planned to go out to dinner, so I wandered around taking pictures while I waited for Klane to get off work. The tulips are out and it is beautiful. The weather was so perfect last week.

After I took this I dropped my lens cap down a sewer. I might have said a bad word. Then a homeless man came up and offered to reach down and get it out for me, an impossible feat considering it was 6 feet under a grate with 1-inch slots. I laughed and said no thanks and decided to head to Klane’s office. Lens caps aren’t expensive, are they?

I’ve always loved this building:

When Klane got off we enjoyed a nice evening strolling around deciding where to go for dinner. We decided on Recipe on the UWS but when we were given a 45 minute wait at 8:40, we switched to plan B. Klane has had his eye on the lobster rolls from Luke’s for a while now, and there just happened to be a location one block down. It was a low-key but delicious dinner and it was nice to be together.

This was the only photo of the two of us! Hopefully we will make reservations for a more official anniversary dinner and we will get all dressed up and take glamorous photos of the two of us being madly in love. Don’t hold your breath or anything. But it might happen. ;)

Our anniversary this year wasn’t anything elaborate, but I really did have such a nice time walking around in the warm evening air, hand in hand with my man. Being married to him has been awesome. Four years down, a bazillion more to go! How lucky am I?

    Congratulations on four years! You make such a sweet, fun couple and you set such a lovely example of love and marriage. I am so glad you two got together :)

    …and I lost my lens cap in the park during the big snow and the replacement was only $6!

    I am in love with spring tulips! Seeing them pop up has made me realize how deprived I was growing up in arid Arizona.

    Although low-key, your anniversary seemed perfect! Flowers, lobster rolls, and a loving husband — what more could you need? And you look so pretty in the second pic from the bottom. Love the braid.

    Wow, it’s crazy how fast time goes once you get married. If you are like me, it feels like you just got married but have some how known each other forever too:)
    Congrats!
    (and I have a request- once you are settled and relaxed a bit, how ’bout some more pics of the new apartment?)

    So cute! Just for the record, ever since you got married we refer to happy, awesome marriage material aspirations to “Angie and Klane” marriages. :p You two are so cute and such an awesome example to the younger cousins! Love you! Happy Anniversary you two! :)

    So it turned out even though you kind-of forgot. Your dad and I forgot our third or fourth anniversary and didn’t remember until about a week later. We also had just moved and were trying to settle in and get used to the new home and get geared up to start dental school. Busy busy busy! You will have a bazillion more chances to celebrate and what a lovely thought is that. Thanks for being such a great team and for making us all smile!
